Two months ago I had 8 alcoholic drinks over a 10 hour period. I woke up with fast heart rate and have been miserable since with the following symptoms;
- Elevated heart rate, most all day and when waking, was in low 60’s bpm at rest, now regularly 80-90 even at rest
- Shortness of breath, now all day every day having to take deep breaths, not really worse with exertion
- tightness in chest, left shoulder, sore to touch
- fluttering in chest at times
- jitteryness esp in mornings
- dizziness at times
- sweaty palms at times
Had the following tests;
EKG - fine
Stress Test - ok except heart rate didn’t want to slow down after
Doc says it’s stress and my body is stuck fight or flight, but I feel like something is wrong and causing these symptoms! Any help is appreciated
